Hi Everyone,
Continuing in our series of mini-interviews, it's gothics fantasy author A J Dalton stepping up to tell us a bit about some of his genre and non-genre favourites. As always, some really interesting choices!
MY FAVOURITE - A J DALTON
Favourite book:
The Jew of Malta, by Christopher Marlowe. Okay, it's a play, but I read it before I saw it performed. He was the first author of dark fantasy, for me. Doesn't get better than Marlowe.
Favourite author:
Hmm. I guess it would have to be someone like Homer. First great fantasy author.
Favourite genre film:
Undoubtedly, Rollerball, the 70s version starring James Caan. The triumph of the individual over society. A film of awesome dynamics. Scifi.
Favourite non-genre film:
Bound. Plays with genre gorgeously.
Favourite TV show:
Battlestar Galactica, both the 80s series and the modern remakes (although the last series was pish).
Favourite band:
A-ha! The sun always shines on tv.
Favourite game:
Link's Crossbow Training, on the wii. Simple, addictive and with a fantasy setting.
